Who says sports is just meant for the younger generation? At U Sports’ U Games, age is no barrier as both the young and old can be united in their passion for playing sports.
At this year’s Badminton and Table Tennis U Games 12/13, a new U Live category wasincluded to involve older participants aged 55 and above. The event saw close to 300 participants come together earlier this year on 13 January 2013 at ITE College East, marking a healthy start to the new year.
Participating in the U Live category was Mr Wee Boon Leng, 54, who came in second for the Men’s
Doubles category. He strongly encouraged the idea of having more older participants involved in
various games.
He said: “It is good for our health and for us to just enjoy games. At the same time, I got to meet up
with friends whom I used to play badminton with and can also make new friends here."
